(Q) Why did Rathe Associates make the change to Votacall?
(A) "Our change from Verizon to Votacall was based on 2 main issues...
First we made a really bad decision going with Verizon. You would think they know phones.
Everything was terrible. From outsourcing the installation, training, drop calls for months, took months to port all the phone lines over and the features of the phone system were basic at best.
Second – We were moving to a new CRM system and wanted the phone system to integrate with the CRM. Of course, Verizon could not do. NST who is our IT provider suggested Votacall. They had recommended them over the years and their clients were always satisfied.
Right from the beginning, Votacall made us feel comfortable. We had numerous phone calls during the sales process with their team.
They just made us very comfortable from our first meeting and we knew right away were heading in the right direction. Their first suggestion was to try and see if we liked how the phones worked before making any commitment.
The next day we had working phones to test.
They also took time to integrate the CRM system with their phone system & trained us to be sure we were satisfied before making any decision. They understood this was one of the main reasons we wanted to switch phone providers. Amazing that there was no time limit for this trial, and they didn’t even ask for a deposit. Totally a non-pressure sales approach.
The only criteria was Votacall wanted us to be 100% confident that we were making the right decision.
Once we decided to go with Votacall, we needed this installation to be completed in 2 weeks. We are in the heating business, and we needed to be fully implemented before September 1st. Votacall wanted 4 weeks but they would do their best.
Well they did the installation, ported all of our numbers, and networked our system in 2 weeks and 1 day.
From the installation to training to having a seamless turnover was beyond our expectations.
Everyone at team Votacall thought Rathe Associates was their most important customer. The continuous follow ups even on weekends was nonstop.
When Votacall says customer, service is the only metric, they mean it."
